3 Must Do After Knee Replacement Surgery To Ensure Maximum Recovery

[@patriciamcguire469]

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!

[@creepyuncle542]

I had my knee replaced 3.5 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I go hiking, weight lifting, etc etc, I don't even think about my knee. I can walk for hours. No pain, ever.

That’s awesome

Dont do it

[@joelbrown3479]

Ice OR frozen peas for my knees, 1 pound with wash clothe between knee and cold, ACE bandage for complete contact & relief

[@Retiredtraveler1961]

I had my knee done 2017 at age 58, the BEST thing is to use a power cryotherapy machine, not an ice pack. I’m a retired RN. keep the ice machine ON ! Power cryotherapy machines are about $160, however they should be covered by insurance as durable medical equipment. They far our perform an ice pack and you’ll thank me……Ten minutes with an ice pack doesn’t cut it, as soon as its off, Throbbing stabbing Pain returns. Also, take your pain meds 1/2 hour before physical therapy……you’ll need it, especially when they push your heel towards your bottom on the table.

[@ceceliapadgett9882]

Thank you.

[@barbararinger3529]

EXACTLY. Everything you said was what I did for double knee replacements. Also was given Flexeril to take right before physical therapy. Muscle relaxer helped 100%

[@DianaUmstead]

Thanks for your advice. I'm getting my left knee done 6/28. I have a machine so I will be using it for sure

[@wendystrauss2459]

7th week in, still using cryo cuff machine. It is my friend 🧡

[@camillesamples8790]

If I do that I’ll be too knocked out to do anything.

[@m7groove]

I just had a total knee replacement this past Halloween. Leg still hurts but I'm making strides! BUT I'm a REALLY BAD PATIENT! I completely agree with 2 of the 3 points made. They're all VERY IMPORTANT. Only thing is I HATE cold on any single part of my scrawny body! 😂 I'll pass on that but I'll do the other two.

[@chriscooper8210]

​@precisioncaremedical Hello I've heard so many conflicting things about knee surgery/replacements. I tore my acl/meniscus over 10 years ago. I gave up pretty much everything I enjoy because of it (basketball, karate, etc). If I decide to get a knee replacement, can I get back to these activities even if only 1-2 a week (nothing to crazy)?

[@vondafoster8916]

Getting mine done May 21st 😊

THANK YOU GOOD INFORMATION

[@russell6777]

I’ve had knee cap surgery on both knees, my experience was the sooner you start stretching and exercising the better, the stretching WILL hurt but it will loosen up the joint and then the knee will feel better for it , the exercises are hard to do at first but keep doing them and they will get easier

[@Salam_Damai431]

How long did it take to recover?

[@russell6777]

Totally, about 3 or 4 months to totally recover, but getting my general mobility back was quite soon, I did however do all the stretching and strengthening exercises the physio recommended and more, TBH most people don’t, it was hard and sometimes painful but it did pay off on speeding up my recovery

[@russell6777]

There is also quite a lot on KZbin regarding exercises for knee surgery recovery and I found those quite helpful

[@Salam_Damai431]

@@russell6777 Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. My wife (age 70 years) needs both knees done. I am trying to reassure her, but only someone who has experienced the op will really know. So you have no regrets about having knee replacement surgery? Again I thank you for sharing your experience.

[@russell6777]

No i don’t haven’t any regrets, I’m 65 but very active which is why I wanted my knees fixed, I’m used to exercising and I am very focused on recovery, and willing to put in the work, I realise that not everyone is as determined as I am , I do know people who have struggled with the recovery, but I personally found the surgery worked well, good luck to your wife, let me know how she gets on

I had mine 3 days ago and ice hurts so much when I put it on it. And I think with my fibromyalgia I have been having muscle spasms. They don't feel good. I am having PT already and hurt so bad afterwards to the point I cry. I'm hoping this starts going easier

[@ladyb5888]

Doctor Prescribed Muscle relaxers at night to help. ❤

[@Scribblescrabbly]

How are you feeling 3 months after? My mom is looking to get the procedure done.

[@tamelashawn]

I had mine 2 wks ago. I'm still really sore, and I'm not sleeping at night. My tolerance is very high, so muscle relaxers and pain pills are giving me minimum relief. But, overall, I feel better than last week!

[@carriemarshall6635]

Same with hip replacement. I just had one 5 weeks ago doing grate now, but ice hurt and muscle spasms were so bad. Also, suffer from fibromyalgia

@@shannonowens2125 Feeling any better now Sharon? The spasms can also be from a nerve coming from a bad back. I hope they've calmed down. I had that with my hip replacement.

When I sleep with a pillow or blanket under just my ankle I seem to have more pain in and around the knee not have been able to bend my knee for years and now the pressure of gravity will be the death of me.😅 I am having pain that shifts from 2 inches below the knee straight down to top of my ankle then it will be outside of knee down the side to back of calf.. then at times it can hurt EVERY WHERE AT ONCE... 😅😅 I am not an old patient but I did wait a very long time before having this done. My other knee is bad and not sure at this point I can say it will have it done or not... 😢😢😢

I am 6 months post op and I have to admit the pain has subside I don't have pain walking any longer sitting sometimes it does hurt but only after a real busy day... laying down on my side and trying to lift my leg off the other leg or off the bed is so so bad feels like the bend of my knee has ripped open.. I can walk upstairs as long as the are not steep the higher the step the more pressure and the the pain comes but over all I am getting there. I had lot of arthritis from so many knee mishaps. And I am old LOL

[@micheleriley5517]

What about using an ice machine? I know someone that used it 24/7 the first couple weeks

[@brendajohnson5975]

Recurculating ice wrap was my best friend after both ACL surgeries. Looks like an ice chest that you fill with ice and cold water. It has 2 tubes connected to the pad, which continuously circulates cold, so you can ice much longer. ❤ They always say 20min on 20mins off. 10min isn't enough time. 😢 I can't sleep with my legs straight. If I accidentally shift to my back during the night, my knees 🔐 up and causes excruciating pain.

[@della4386]

You need a brace on at night to keep leg straight . I did .
